On Sunday, we were out by Shark Island at Cape Lookout shoals and came upon what we thought was a bait pod. But it was a ball of 40 to 70 pound black drum. I threw a gotcha plug at them and immediately broke off. My 15 year old buddy, Tanner had one on that broke off. I threw a jig with a strip of fresh bluefish and immediately hooked up. This was on a 4000 sized Shimano Sedona with 14 pound test.
45 minutes later it was done. This was an awesome fight!!!
Nice work! Check out this link from some boys in Hatteras they found them this past Sunday as well, on some shoals around Hatteras. I wonder if they are still hanging around? http://www.saltminded.com/monster-black-drum-kayak-video/
